YouTube’s new app for the PlayStation 3 allows remote control from smartphones

Fans of watching YouTube on the PS3 have a new treat. Even though you can already watch YouTube on your console, Youtube is rolling out a new app to make the video experience even better. Which frankly isn’t that hard to do. I know I’ve been waiting for this upgrade.
The app features an improved search with suggestions and instant results while you type, the ability to pull in your subscribed channels and it also allows you to use your smartphone as a remote after a simple pairing process.

It should be arriving in North America right about now. You can find it under the My Channels section in the PS3 store to download the free app. Hopefully they have improved things over what we have already. If you have used it yet, let us know what you think.
